I had a brand new 100ft cat6 cable not work for me, however I bought two at the same time and the other worked. It was not a standard pin out either, which I thought was weird, but the other cable was wired the same and worked. I was going to cut it in half for two 50 footers anyway, and once I put ends on them they (50 footers) worked perfectly. Also a simple network cable tester for $10 helps sometimes. Sure it doesn't tell you much, but a loose wire or intermittent connection is a lot easier to spot. Also I've heard that old cables have "memory" from staying connected the same way forever. Then when you reuse those old cables you bend it a different way and you pull a wire out slightly or whatnot.

What "usual things" did you try?

You tried IP renew on a network adapter that you manually assigned an ip address? Of course that won't work.

When you say it connects after manually entering the ip, what does it connect to? Can it reach your router? Because the little windows network icon doesn't mean it's "connected" if you assigned an IP.

The cause of the "THE OPRATION FAILED AS NO ADAPTER IS IN THE STATE PERMISSIBLE FOR THIS OPERATION" error is because you tried to release and renew a manually set IP address.

Here are my steps for such issues.

Set the unworking PC's settings back to obtain automatically.
Power cycle the router.
Does another computer connect to the router? If it does, use it to log into the routers webmin.
Is the router getting an IP address from the ISP? If so, good.
Connect the unworking PC
Look at the connected clients page, does the router recongise that the unworking is connected?
Can you ping the router from the unworking computer?
Are you able to try your working machine on the same cable as the machine that isnt working? It could be a damaged cable.
If the cable works on the working machine, chances are its the unworking computer itself.
Switch off any firewalls, antiviruses etc. and see if it connects.

okay i have tried automatic ip address but comes up with limited or no connectivity, also says the same when i ipconfig/release and renew, tried the ethernet cable on another computer works fine, tried winsock repair, no good i am thinking its a hardware problem, i have a spare network card so will try this, also driver has been updated still no luck, did not work on the old driver as well, connects on wireless , so it must be a hardward fault.
